Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electronic trip device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the current transformers supply the measurement or information signal and the power supply of the electronic circuits and of the trigger control coil.
  • the tripping coil is energized by unlocking the switch formed by a thyristor in series with the coil. Additional means selectively apply electrical energy either to the measurement and monitoring circuit or to the trip coil. This device is complicated and during the triggering phase the measuring device is off.
  • Another known trip device (US-A-4.004.201) comprises a measurement circuit and a supply circuit, in particular a trip coil, connected in parallel to the current transformers. During a trip, the measurement circuit remains supplied, the current being shared between the two circuits. Only part of the current delivered by current transformers is available to supply the coil.

  • the impedance Z of the series circuit is low and all the electrical energy supplied by the current transformers associated with the conductors R, S, T of the phases of the network is used to supply the signal. measurement and supply of the trigger circuits.
  • the impedance Z of the series circuit increases as well as the rectified voltage E delivered by the transformers playing the role of a current generator. Most of the electrical energy is used to power the trip coil, but the supply of the monitoring electronics is maintained.
  • the rectified voltage signal at the terminals of the measurement resistor is applied after processing to the long delay and short delay trigger circuits cooperating with delay means to issue either a trigger order delayed by a duration depending on the value of the overload, i.e. an instantaneous tripping order on a short circuit at a switch OR gate of the switch made nonconductive for energizing the coil.
  • the switch is formed by a first transistor whose base is connected to the output of the OR control gate and whose collector is connected to the base of a second coil shunt transistor trigger.
  • the outputs of the long delay, short delay and zero sequence trip circuits are connected to the bases of three control transistors whose collectors are connected on the one hand to the logic circuit of the OR gate, and on the other share in trigger indicators capable of determining the nature of the fault.
  • the static release 10 is controlled by four current sensors, in particular current transformers 12, 14, 16, 18 in the form of toroids, magnetically coupled to the conductors R, S, T and N of a three-phase network with neutral protected by a circuit breaker 20 with trip coil 22.
  • the secondary winding of the current transformer 18 associated with the neutral conductor N is connected directly to the primary winding 29 of the earth transformer 30.
  • the secondary winding 31 of the latter performs the summation of the currents flowing in the network and delivers a signal to a full-wave rectifier bridge32 when a differential fault appears on the network.
  • the outputs of the three rectifier bridges 24, 26, 28 are connected in series to make a full-wave rectified voltage E appear at the output terminals 34, 36.
  • One of the outputs of the rectifier bridge 32, associated with the differential transformer 30, is connected to terminal 34 brought to the positive polarity of voltage E.
  • the other output of bridge 32 is connected via a zero sequence resistance 39 to a terminal 38 of the negative polarity of voltage E.
  • the device is of the own current type in which the current transformers 12 to 18 supply the signals for measuring the overload and zero sequence currents, and the supply of the electronic circuits of the static trip device 10, and of the coil 22 of trip of the circuit breaker 20.
  • a measuring resistor 40 of the overload current connected between the terminals 36, 38 is the seat of a voltage signal proportional to the maximum value of the current flowing through the conductors R, S, T of the network.
  • the measurement resistor 40 or any other means of detecting the presence of an overload current has an ohmic resistance of predetermined value or modifiable as a function of the nominal current of the circuit breaker.

  • the voltage signal developed across the measurement resistor 40 is applied to a processing device 46 formed by a conventional peak detector circuit which it is unnecessary to describe in detail.
  • the signal formed by the device 46 controls a long delay trigger circuit LR, a short delay trigger circuit CR, or any other trigger48, which delivers a trigger signal when the current detected by the current transformers 12, 14, 16 exceeds a predetermined threshold or function.
  • the trigger circuits CR and LR comprise, in a well known manner, operational amplifiers mounted as comparators and polarized at staggered thresholds so as to issue delayed trigger orders as a function of the level of the signal detected by the resistor 40, causing either a trigger instantaneous on short-circuit or a delayed triggering of a duration depending on the value of the overload
  • the threshold amplifiers of the LR circuit cooperate with a timing device to define an amplitude and delay time function by ensuring a tripping curve in long delay steps in 1 2 t.
  • the signal developed at the terminals of the zero sequence resistance 39 is applied to a zero sequence trip circuit H which provides a trip order when a differential fault detected by the transformer 30 occurs.
  • the outputs of the long delay LR, short delay CR, zero sequence H and 48 trip circuits are connected to an OR gate 50 for controlling a static switching device 52 connected in parallel to the terminals of the circuit breaker trip coil 22.

  • the transistor switch 52 54, 56 can be replaced by any other switching element with two operating states capable of being respectively in an unlocked state for shunting the coil 22 when a predetermined triggering threshold is not exceeded, and in a blocked state for the '' supply to wirewound 22 during the delivery of a trip signal emitted by one of the trip circuits LR, CR, H or 48 after detection of an overload or differential current by one of the current transformers 24 to 30.
  • a suppressor capacitor 58 and a voltage limiting element 60 of the Varistor type with non-linear resistance are respectively connected in parallel on the trigger coil 22.
  • the voltage developed across the terminals of the coil 22 in the blocked state of the switch 52 is thus limited when an overcurrent appears in the series circuit 42.
  • the DC voltage supply device 44 for the electronic tripping circuits comprises a Zener diode 62, the cathode of which is connected to the connection point 64 of the emitter of the transistor 56, and of one of the terminals of the coil 22.
  • L the anode of the Zener diode 62 is connected to the anode of a diode 66 connected by its cathode to the terminal 38 of the series circuit 42.
  • the voltage taken at the intermediate point 68 of the connection of the anodes of the diodes 62, 66 serves as reference voltage and the positive and negative polarities of the DC supply voltage supplied by the device 44 are located respectively at the cathodes of the same diodes 62, 66.
  • the outputs of the long delay LR, short delay CR and zero sequence H trip circuits are connected respectively to the bases of three control transistors 70, 72, 74, the collectors of which are connected on the one hand to the inputs of the logic circuit OR 50, and on the other hand to trip indicators 76, 78, 80 capable of determining the nature of the order of tripping during the conduction of one of the transistors 70 to 74, each transmitter of which is at the reference potential of point 68.

  • the zero sequence voltage signal from the resistor 39 is applied to the trip circuit H, which issues a differential trip order to the OR gate 50. It is the same for an overload or short-circuit current which causes the issuance of a delayed or instantaneous tripping order by one of the long delay LR or short delay CR trigger circuits controlled by the voltage across the terminals of the measurement resistance 40. Any one of these tripping orders ensures the blocking of the transistor 56 of the switch 52 resulting in the immediate excitation of the tripping coil 22 followed by the opening of the contacts of the circuit breaker20.
